Genesis 2:4-6

Easy-to-Read Version

The First Man and the Garden of Eden

⁴ This is the story about the creation of the sky and the earth. This is what happened when the Lord God made the earth and the sky. ⁵ This was before there were plants on the earth. Nothing was growing in the fields because the Lord God had not yet made it rain on the earth, and there was no one to care for the plants.

⁶ So water^[a] came up from the earth and spread over the ground.
